Form 990-ez, Part III, Line 28
“Flint water crisis when flint was facing the crisis with tainted water, the flint city council should have been focusing on the poisoned children of flint and the crumbling water delivery system. Instead, they were more interested in retaining an overpriced trash hauler. The flint city council refused to competitively bid out an expensive trash contract.”
